Hezbollah issued a statement on Tuesday condemning "Israel's" recent actions in Syria, describing them as a "dangerous and severely condemned aggression."

The statement called on the United Nations Security Council, the international community, and Arab and Islamic nations to reject and end the occupation of Syrian territories and protect the Syrian people during this critical juncture in their history.

The statement reiterated Hezbollah's long-standing warnings against Israeli ambitions in the region and emphasized its Resistance efforts to prevent the occupation from achieving its goals. It linked the aggression on Gaza to the "war of extermination aimed at reshaping the region and erasing the Palestinian cause."

Hezbollah criticized the international silence, particularly from Arab and Islamic nations, regarding the ongoing aggression on Syria. It also condemned the "unlimited American support" for these actions and the lack of practical measures to counter Israeli aggression or support the Palestinian people's legitimate rights.

Curbing 'Israel's' goals

The statement urged decisive steps to prevent the Israeli occupation from achieving its objectives, stressing that the aggression on Syria and its people should not be met with silence.

"What is happening in Syria today, both at the popular and political levels, and the resulting internal and external political choices, is exclusively the right of the Syrian people, free from external influences and pressures," the statement asserted.

Hezbollah expressed hope for Syria to stabilize on its own terms, achieve its resurgence, and maintain a firm stance against Israeli occupation while preventing external interference in its affairs.

The statement concluded with a pledge of continued support for Syria, affirming, "We will remain a pillar of support for Syria and its people in their right to shape their future and confront their enemy, the usurping Israeli entity."

70-80% of military capabilities destroyed

The Israeli military announced on Tuesday that it had destroyed approximately 70-80% of the Syrian Army's capabilities.

According to the Israeli military, around 350 fighter jets participated in the operation, targeting 320 sites across Syria. The attacks reportedly destroyed fighter jets, helicopters, radar systems, surface-to-air missile batteries, naval vessels, surface-to-surface missiles, rocket launchers, weapons production facilities, weapons depots, Scud missiles, cruise missiles, sea-to-sea missiles, and drones.

Simultaneously, Israeli ground forces continue operations in the so-called "buffer zone" in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. The Israeli military stated that it is working to "establish a presence in the area and destroy weapons."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the occupation would respond forcefully if the new Syrian regime allowed Iran to "re-enter Syria" or facilitated arms transfers to Hezbollah, warning that such actions would come at a high cost. He also stated that "Israel" seeks to establish relations with the new Syrian regime.

"What happened to the previous regime in Syria will happen to this one as well if it allows weapons transfers to Hezbollah," Netanyahu added.
